Life, Love, and Whatever Else

Surprise, surprise...

Dilbert wrote a comic about my life:

Jottings By Jess: "On happiness: ...people universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather if you're fortunate enough. But that's not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight... for it, you strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don't, you will leak away your innate contentment. It's easy enough to pray when you're in distress but continuing to pray when your crisis has passed is like a sealing process, helping your soul hold tight in its good attainments." - Eat. Pray. Love. I love my friends and family - they are what keep me alive, and I would do pretty much anything for them. I finished my master's degree in business at Westminster College in SLC in May 08. I want to be a professor one day so, off to the Ph.D!
